do you think ryzen would be a better choice ? reading the OP seems like playing games was third on the list of priorities ? $1000 for a monitor almost as bad as my $700 for an ssd! :lol: i know zero about peripherals so i just kept to the same as the OP. i would be happier with my build if i hadn't put that 2tb ssd in there ! might take it out and save on the budget . nice gaming build btw .

 

[Lucky_SLS]

his first preference was streaming, so gaming goes hand in hand right? i tried for a 1800X with AIO liquid cooler, but couldnt fit the X34. so i compromised with 7700k.
to be honest, i like the 1700X and 1800X. i feel the 1700 is workstation oriented. i wouldnt recommend them in gaming builds, would go with a 7700k instead.
since its gonna be in 4k, the work is pushed onto gpu. so u still have some omph to stream the game. but a capture card would be ideal if going for cpu intensive games.
u can include a capture card in ur build, not in mine though cuz of the budget 🙁

with an overclock though the 1700 will be fine and the stock cooler can apparently take a decent overclock. for pure gaming i would pick the 7700k but i have seen videos of it having limitations when it comes to streaming whilst gaming . but i see you have thought of a workaround 😛 there is room to add capture card and the 1800x in my build but i ll leave it as it is .. because you have put the information down in print .. the OP can make the decision .

could you not step down to a 1080 or would that defeat the purpose of the monitor do you think ?

 

[Lucky_SLS]

exactly, the 1080ti is itself giving around 60 fps in wildlands, witcher 3, andromeda and some other games so the 1080 cant take it in 4k.

edit: super! no case! scrap that idea.

 

[Lucky_SLS]

^ good choice on A40, the 240EX is a moderate performer. chose it cuz it was cheap at the moment. wouldnt put it with a 1800X.
But u r missing a case XD. bring down the ssd to 275 one and go for a logitech G430 [still a good 7.1 headset] and u can include a P400S 😉
